I am going to post an explanation of the various timeouts to the
LPRng list, but here is a quick summary for you:

Thanks! Add these:
# wait this long before assuming that connection failed
# or the printer has gone catatonic during the initial connection
# step - this is common with print spooler boxes when somebody
# else is trying to connect as well and the box handles only one
# connection. You can think of this as the 'pound on the door'
# timeout. Use the connect_interval to set the time between
# connection attempts, and then 'max_connect_interval'
# to set the maxmimum time between connection attempts.
:connect_timeout=10
# job timeout after connection has been made - when you send a job
# and do something, you expect to get the job FINISHED, that is,
# the filter will EXIT within this time. If you are using a 'smart'
# filter like ifhp, then you may want to delegate this to the
# ifhp filter.
:send_job_rw_timeout=0
